How Machine Learning Is Helping To Thwart Phishing AttacksGoogle’s use of machine learning to thwart the skyrocketing number of phishing attacks occurring during the Covid-19 pandemic provides insights into the scale of these threats. Google’s machine learning models are evolving to understand and filter phishing threats, successfully blocking more than 99.9% of spam, phishing and malware from reaching G-Mail users. Using supervised machine learning algorithms that factor in device detection, location, user behavior patterns and more to anticipate and thwart phishing attacks is what’s needed today. The following are five ways machine learning can thwart phishing attacks using an on-device approach:1. Have machine learning algorithms resident on every mobile device to detect threats in real-time even when a device is offline.
